A Maltese teenager, is about to be signed to a UK record label.
For them, it’s the culmination of a six-month-long global search. They have been hunting the planet to discover a young artist that they can nurture and develop, and finally launch on the international music stage in 2009. f2f Music Limited have finally completed their search and now believe they have found the artist they have been looking for. They believe that with some major development and promotion, she can take the international pop world by storm. The artist currently resides on Malta. Her name is Sophie. For her, this is the culmination of a life-long dream.
Sophie has always been totally focused on her career, singing and performing in her home country, desperately hoping and dreaming of landing a once-in-a-lifetime recording contract. She has worked tirelessly non-stop for just such an opportunity. The second daughter of a Maltese restaurant chef and an English housewife mother; her parents first spotted Sophie’s talent-to-entertain others at the tender age of eight. Since then, her entire family has worked selflessly, sacrificing many standard everyday taken-for-granted luxuries, in order to foster Sophie’s career. The highlight for them all to date, was when Sophie got to represent her country in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, in Bucharest, when she was only eleven years old.
UK based, London record label, f2f Music Limited, specialise in discovering, developing and promoting new singer/songwriters and composers. They intend to sign Sophie to a three year, multi-album recording contract, at a star-studded launch, being hosted by Her Excellency, Ms Louise Stanton, the British High Commissioner to the Republic of Malta, at her official residence on Thursday 9th April, 2009.
